New Email 9/28/23

Time for a change... We have a New email address. Take note, 

Contact us at: ( WebStaff-ENN@outlook.com ).

We are also at: ( EmpireNationalNursery4u@gmail.com )

And... the new webpage is at: ( http://05d60a9.netsolhost.com )

Ok, why the change? Time... When we started the online nursery in 1997, we have the website and that email, and that had gone on for about 25 years. For a hundred and one reasons, we made a major change and closed that website (cdr3.com) and that associated email address. We started the new streamlined webpage above, but had the email (nursery@empirenationalnursery.com). Now that has changed, and gets rid of a lot of junk mail...

Ordering... Yes, you can do so here through this blog, contact us via the New email address, or jump into the webpage and reach us there. Yes, always available via snail-mail, for sure...  

What about the trees? Huh? Trees... yes, that is what we are all about, but we also sell a number of other items, like books, coins, sports trading cards, movies, trains, and a variety of other items (mostly via our Shops on Etsy and eBay). Trees are our core product line, but we like all of the other things too...

 Fruit trees are something that has been of greater interest over the last several years, and we are trying to grow as many as possible as quickly as we can... 

 For Fall 2023, the fruit trees and all of the other trees and plants will become available when they become dormant again. That is weather-dependent, and based on previous seasons, some items become shippable as early as mid-October. Colder weather earlier will push trees into dormancy earlier, and if so, then we can resume shipping more earlier... Only the weather knows for sure, and once dormant, trees ship perfectly well. 

 Estimated Shipping Season for 2023-2024 will be "about" November 15th to May 15th. Once trees go dormant, they are asleep, so they can be lifted from the beds and stored in cold storage until shipped. Bookmark the webpage, and note our email address and "watch" for the availability to change. Once they are available to ship, we will update the webpage accordingly. You can always ask us if you have needs, wants, or questions...

Now one more rambling bit... We have a slogan, "Plan Early, Order Early, and Take Delivery Early for the Best selection". Here again, weather often dictates what we can do with shipping live plants (best while dormant), but supplies of plants vary from season to season. When we are out, then it may be a year or longer before we can grow them back into our inventory. Makes sense. But also, once the plants go dormant, then plant as early as practical. For the southern half of the country, plant from November through Winter. For the northern half of the country, planting will be weather-dependent moreso, which may be mid-Winter through late-Spring. Every location is different, but plant as soon as possible (or pot them to plant later). Waiting for Spring or late-Spring to plant is usually too Late! Too late because trees are not sensitive like tomatoes or peppers, and, the supply often runs out. Think about these things...

Enough said about stuff, our point was to relate the new email address.

 Get ready for Fall planting!

Available Coin List 6-2-23

This is a change of pace... we will be listing some of our Coins, Trains, and other Non-Nursery items here over the next several months.

Huh? Yes, although Empire National Nursery is primarily a tree nursery, offering fast-growing trees, fruit trees, and other plants goodies... but actually the business is mail-order. Empire National Company is the parent firm, although for the most part, we have run everything under the nurserys’ umbrella. And now that the tree shipping season is done, we are turning our attention to some of the other product lines to offer you some of these treasures, outside of Etsy or eBay.

So which are the Non-Nursery product lines? We also sell Books & Movies, Coins & Currency, Trains (mostly HO Scale), Baseball (Sports) Trading Cards (for which we have nearly 200,000), and an Other or Catch-All section. Now traditionally, we run these items off of the platforms like Etsy, Ebay, Bonanza, and others, but they charge us a fortune! Want the same item for half price? Here we are. You can order from this blog, or take the link to our webpage. You can also contact us via email (below), and tell us what you interests you. You can also mail-in your order if you prefer that method.

What about pictures? That is a challenge on this blog, we will add a few, but as these are also listed on eBay (where we put most of the non-nursery items), go to our store, find the pictures, then email us with your order. And, those items added to our webpage, there will be pictures available, and you can easily order from the webpage.

Now the lists will change, and most items are one-of-a-kind, so you might drop us a note before you commit to an item. And then bookmark this blog to keep in contact with the latest list, and scroll prior posts/lists to see whats new or different.

And yes, lets talk finances, shipping and handling... For online purchases, we use PayPal. PayPal is the leader and best on-line payment handler, and we have used them for the past 26 years. We also welcome a check or money order, mailed-in as well. Now shipping the Non-Nursery items is easier than plants, so we use mostly USPS 1st Class, Media Mil, Parcel Service, and some Priority Mail. We may use UPS also, as the nursery items primarily go that route.

Reliability and such... check out our Etsy and Ebay stores, and read the feedbacks.

Are Fruit Trees Still Available?

 If you read the post we just put up, we mentioned the the Spring 2023 season is about done, and general shipping is about to halt until the Fall. But... we can and do still ship some trees, just not the full blown shipping program as during the "season". You can always email us and ask too.

So yes, as of today (5-9-23) there are still some fruit trees available. On Etsy and eBay, we have dropped most items, and shortly we will drop the rest, but again, email us for more details on what is really still available.

Of the Apple trees, we still have Red Delicious, Macintosh, Winesap, Fuji, Granny Smith, and maybe a couple stragglers...

Of the Peach trees, we still have the Georgia Bell Peach, the Red Haven Peach, and the Harvester Peach.

 

Now for the Plum trees, we have the Santa Rosa Plum and the Ozark Premier Plum. 

 

Pear trees, we just have the Bartlett Pear available.

 

Ever try a Plum-Cot? It's a cross between a Plum and an Apricot, quite tasty, and quite unique!

 

Ok, all of these are still dormant and fresh in the cooler, and will ship fine... but not for much longer. These are the Standard size, which means they will grow upwards of 15 to 20 feet tall. The size will vary somewhat with your growing conditions. Now what we are shipping are small, in the 15-inch size range, nice second year grafted trees. Email us for prices. 

 

Paw Paw trees? Yes, they are also still available, in the cooler, dormant, and nicely shippable as well... but again, for a short time longer.

 

For the most part, the Spring shipping season is done, and everything will become available again in the fall when the trees become dormant again. then it will be back to our regular shipping program. Taller trees too... What we have today, will go back into the beds to grow and develop further for larger more developed trees available later this Fall.

 

Fun stuff... thanks for asking. Now use the links below for more info.

Now What's New?

 

Yes, it has been quite a while since we have posted a post... but life is busy, and that never seems to stop or even slow down.

 Ok, so what has changed or is new since the last posting? Lots... 

Well, to start with, the Spring 2023 tree shipping season has all but concluded. As the temperatures have heated up across the nation, that makes shipping trees (even dormant trees) more challenging to get delivered in the best condition. The reasoning is, that trees shipped are subject to getting warm or drying out in the box as the shipment is sent from here to there. Although we inspect the trees and plants before packing, and pack them well, a box in transit can still be subjected to warm temps. We try to avoid that as much as practical, so many trees are dropped from the offering as the season progresses, and at some point, virtually all tree shipments are halted. So that is where we stand with the season... Yes, we can and do continue to ship trees and plants, but on a rather limited basis. Any questions, then email us.

And speaking about trees and shipping, again this season was dominated by an interest in fruit trees. We have had fruit trees forever, but over the last several years, there seems to have been a greater interest and popularity for fruit trees. Apple trees have been popular, as have peach trees, plum trees, and pear trees. Now cherry trees would be the most desired tree, but they have been limited in supply. Too bad, hopefully we can that sorted for next season.

Ok, enough of the trees... what else is new is the ever-changing website. We started with our cdr3.com website over 26 years ago, when the internet was brand new. We were one of the first out there on the "wild web", and we had done fairly well with that. But a couple years ago, due to technical challenges, we switched to a new fancy e-commerce package, and last year switched that to a different webpage. Our webpage and email (below) work fine, just still not what we are wanting. The ol' days of managing and coding our own pages are sorely missed...

But what we have planned and in store as time marches forward, is more ordering and interaction through this blog, and we might start another blog also. Want to order trees from here? Yes, we can do that with ads on the blog itself, but using our email, we can send an ordering list and handle a deal more personally. Avoid the web? No, not really, we list our products on the platforms like Etsy and eBay, but our current webpage is available too. We just want something in between, but you'll see as things develop.

And more about new... forever we have been about "fast growing" trees, with our Ameri-Willow as our Star brand. As noted, over the last several years, fruit trees are more of interest to the world out there, so we have concentrated more on those trees. If you can grow your own food, then we can help. That's important to grow some of your food, having a garden, fruit tree added to the landscape design, and maybe adding a small orchard. Whereas in the past, we grew over 200 types of trees and plants, now we barely grow fifty types of trees. We still experiment with a lot of stuff, but what we get into production that we can then offer, well, the fruit trees have become "our jam".

What else is new with us? We still use PayPal, we were on the "world wide web" longer before they started, but we have used them now for over 26 years. PayPal is still 100% good and reliable. But also, we still accept checks and money orders, and mailed-in orders.

So how new is this info we just shared? Not a great deal really. We are still the same as we have ever been. We still grow trees (primarily), and we still offer a lot of non-nursery items (which is mostly promoted on the platforms). The websites are new-ish, but all roads lead back to us, so that's not really new...

You read this posting, so that is new. Thanks. And we hope you will check out our webpage, and see what we offer on Etsy and eBay.
